Helth desk- Ovarian cancer is such a dangerous disease that gradually spreads to many parts of the body. Although women can get this cancer at any age, but after the age of 40, its risk increases in women.
Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries and spreads to the reproductive glands, which produce eggs for conception. It is through the fallopian tubes that the eggs travel to the uterus.
In such a situation, there is concern in the minds of women whether they can conceive safely after recovering from ovarian cancer or not.
Can women conceive after cancer?
According to experts, after completing the treatment and recovery of ovarian cancer, women can conceive without any problem.
For this, after consulting your doctor, you can get an egg preservative done, so that it can be transplanted again during the treatment.
Older age is more risk
If the cancer spreads only to the ovary, then doctors remove it by surgery, but this is done only when the woman is older. In young women who have cancer in only one ovary, then the other ovary is not removed because women can conceive from one ovary.
Which women are more at risk
1. Women with genetics, aging, inability to have children, hormone replacement therapy, diagnosis of endometriosis, reproductive history and obesity are more prone to cancer.
2. Apart from this, long treatment of breast cancer, infertility before the age of 40 also gives rise to this disease.
